From car sharing to personal butlers, these new companies are coming up with innovative ways to improve our lives.

Software and website templates for homeowners to build bespoke booking platforms for renting out their properties to holidaymakers.

Online travel agent selling holiday deals and packages that change daily with themes such as Glamping, Bella Italia, Theme Park Breaks and Single Traveller.
